BJP on mission mode for 2019, sets new targets
On the concluding day of the two-day National Executive meet, the BJP political resolution indicated that it would
focus on adding new socio-groups into its fold even as Prime Minister
Narendra Modi tried to attract some in the Muslim community, especially
women and the poor.
Keeping its thrust on development agenda, the BJP has embarked on a
mission to retain power in 2019, fine-tuning its strategy to woo the
poor and a section of Muslims to expand its base.
On the concluding day of the two-day National Executive meet, the BJP political
resolution indicated that it would focus on adding new socio-groups
into its fold even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi tried to attract some
in the Muslim community, especially women and the poor.
Dubbing
Triple Talaq a "bad social practice", Modi said such things can be ended
by social awakening but stressed that the Bharatiya Janata Party didn't
want a conflict on this issue.
Modi's observation came at his concluding remarks.
"As
far as social justice is concerned, our Muslim sisters should also get
justice. There should not be injustice to them. No one should be
exploited," Union Minister Nitin Gadkari quoted Modi as saying.
Modi
added: "We should not allow conflict in the society. We don't want any
conflict in Muslim society over the issue. We need to end such bad
practices by awakening the society."
Earlier, making an
intervention during the discussion over the resolution passed on a new
OBC Commission, Modi said even Muslims have backwards and marginalised
and the government must address their concerns.
BJP sources said
Modi asked the party leaders and workers to hold district-level meetings
over the issues of backward Muslims and women.
Modi also expressed his desire to rid India of social and economic inequities.
Accusing
the opposition of concocting issues, Modi said: "It seems the
opposition manufactures these issues in some factories. During the Delhi
election, Church attacks was highlighted and during the Bihar polls
'Award Wapsi' was the issue. And right now it is EVM."
The Prime Minister told party workers to stick to "positive approach".
Earlier, two resolutions were passed by the National Executive focusing on the poor and backward communities in the society.
Coming
down heavily on the Congress and other opposition parties for blocking
in the Rajya Sabha a bill to grant constitutional status to the OBC
Commission, the BJP accused them of depriving the poor of their
benefits.
Human Resource and Development Minister Prakash
Javadekar said: "These parties have always suppressed the interests of
the backward classes and only given them false hopes."
He said the manner in which the bill was opposed exposed their attitude towards backward classes.
The
resolution was moved by BJP's OBC MP Hukumdev Narayan Yadav and
seconded by Chief Ministers like Raghubar Das of Jharkhand, Shivraj
Singh Chouhan of Madhya Pradesh and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan
